Okay, little one. Have you ever been on a plane ride to visit your grandparents in another state? Well, an international flight is very similar, except you fly on a plane to different countries far away from home.
So, imagine you live in the United States and you want to visit your friend in France. You can take an international flight to get there. But, there's some things you need to know first.
First, you need a special kind of ticket to fly internationally. It's called an "international plane ticket". This ticket costs more than a regular plane ticket because it takes you across oceans and sometimes even over other continents.
Second, when you take an international flight, there are special rules you have to follow. You have to bring your passport, which is like your ID but for travel to other countries. You also have to go through a lot of security before you board the plane. They check your luggage to make sure you're not bringing anything dangerous on the plane.
Third, when you're on an international flight, it's usually much longer than a regular flight. You may be on the plane for several hours or even a whole day! That's because you're flying to a place that's very far away. Sometimes, you might even have to change planes in another country before you get to your final destination. That's called a layover.
Finally, when you land in another country, things might be different than what you're used to. People might speak a different language, eat different food, or use different money. That's the exciting part of traveling internationally – you get to experience new things!
So there you have it, little one. International flights are a way to travel to far away places on a plane, but they come with special rules, longer flying times, and exciting new experiences.
